The Coronavirus, not the beer

[striker42]

I guess all news sort of tells you "how to think about news" but you still hold the ability to reject what you don't think is credible. If you want to reject any news in The Atlantic, that's your right.

I think his OO's handling of the virus goes far beyond an incompetent response to a health crisis. He has used the virus to further divide the country, the same way he does everything else. He jumped the gun on every important piece of public information on the virus, from its severity to hydroxichoroquine to masks to testing and he'll surely do the same with the Russian vaccine. He doesn't care about the virus per se but only how it can be used to help him.

Responsible leadership would've let the CDC take charge and followed their recommendations.

I just choose not to waste my time with sites that offend me with selective reporting and spinning every story. I actually end up getting a fair bit of my news from the BBC as it still does some of the better journalism out there.

Again, the Covid response is the jurisdiction of the states. Governors decided what to implement. If Obama was in the White House saying "Trust the CDC" would red states have opened any slower? No, they would have opened quicker if anything.

If you want to know the reason so many states were so eager to reopen and have been so hesitant to walk back reopenings, look at their finances. Money dictated covid responses far more than the CDC or Oval Office.

I'll agree Trump's leadership during Covid has been pretty poor. I just don't think it's had a great deal of impact.

Change in Unemployment Rate from December to June

Far less people would be wearing masks if the idea came from a Democrat instead of a republican.

Yeah, totally. It's like the US is the only country wearing a mask.

Or maybe smart people listen to medical experts and take their advice instead of some random dude on Twitter that spams posts right wing propaganda all day.

[Carp]

Can you try another round of spin for the northeast states again??

Lol

We get it. You can't understand the difference in no prep time vs 4 months of prep time.

You’re on 57’s level, if you think as many people would be wearing masks if the mandate came from a Democratic president.

[nsacpi]

Y'all need to set aside the politicization of masks. The governor of North Dakato put it best. It is something you can do for your fellow human being. And it costs you very little.

My goodness.

You continue to excuse the worst states bc of the letter next to their name. You can criticize Florida as much as you want, but you can't in the same breath praise NY bc they managed to plow through their population already.

You know what Florida did? They FLATTENED THE CURVE

NY did exactly the opposite

[thethe]

NY encouraged sibway usage and congregation in areas that most likely had the most seed infections.

The level of TDS is disgusting to excuse their inept response.

[nsacpi]

COVID-19 is close to losing its epidemic status in the U.S., according to the CDC

Speaking of Florida, Arizona, and Texas deaths, their total 7-day avg today is 407. NY's 7-day avg in deaths was more than 407 from April 2nd thru April 30th.

Easter is a perfect date in so many ways. Open it up. Protect at risk population.

April 10

classic

[sturg33]

I wait for any poster here to share the identity of a public official who has recommended social distancing or wearing a mask and then switched positions as far as encouraging people to get out there and protest.

What I have heard is public officials decry violence and urge that people be peaceful.

This is NOT the same as telling people to go out there and congregrate in the middle of a pandemic. And yes I would humbly suggest it is bad faith posting to conflate these things.

Speaking of classics

Keep carrying that water ("humbly" of course)

Lol
